CISO Insights: Voices in Cybersecurity

This episode explores Vietnam's first comprehensive Law on Artificial Intelligence, set to take effect on March 1, 2026, which establishes a risk-based regulatory framework similar to the EU AI Act but with a distinct focus on national sovereignty. We analyze the four distinct risk categories ranging from "unacceptable" prohibitions to "low-risk" systems, detailing the compliance obligations for essential sectors such as healthcare, finance, and education. Finally, we discuss how the government aims to balance strict safety measures with innovation through the creation of regulatory sandboxes, AI clusters, and a National AI Development Fund. www.compliancehub.wiki/vietnams-new-ai-playbook-4-surprising-ways-its-forging-its-own-path   Sponsors:  www.compliancehub.wiki  https://airiskassess.com  

The Intelligence and Security Committee’s 2023–2025 report reveals an Intelligence Community operating on a permanent "crisis footing," forcing agencies to continuously divert resources from long-term priorities to handle immediate conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. While the community pivots to address the complex "whole-of-state" threats posed by China, Russia, and Iran, it is simultaneously racing to modernize its technological infrastructure through massive Cloud and AI investments. However, the Committee warns that effective democratic scrutiny of these expanding powers is at risk, citing severe understaffing and a government failure to update the oversight body's remit for over a decade. www.securitycareers.help/crisis-in-the-shadows-5-shocking-revelations-from-the-uks-top-secret-security-report   Sponsors: www.myprivacy.blog www.compliancehub.wiki 

The Chief Information Security Officer's mandate has shifted from a technical focus on infrastructure to that of a strategic business partner who aligns security directly with value creation. Amidst geopolitical volatility and the "velocity of change," modern CISOs must act as storytellers and resilience guardians to protect the organization's "crown jewels". This episode explores how leaders are moving beyond compliance to become "architects of security-minded organizational behaviour" essential for sustainable growth.   https://www.securitycareers.help/beyond-the-firewall-the-7-essential-leadership-roles-of-a-modern-ciso     Sponsors: www.cisomarketplace.com www.cisomarketplace.services 

This episode uncovers the "perfect storm" of cyber risks facing cannabis operators, from the regulatory "cashless ATM" crackdowns to the sophisticated phishing campaigns responsible for nearly 9 out of 10 industry breaches. We analyze high-profile incidents like the Stiiizy data exposure to show how third-party vendor vulnerabilities can cascade through POS and seed-to-sale systems, putting customer data and state licenses at risk. Finally, we outline essential "defense-in-depth" strategies, such as separating operational technology from corporate networks and implementing phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication, to build a cyber-resilient business. www.securitycareers.help/a-straightforward-guide-to-cybersecurity-for-your-cannabis-business   Sponsor: https://cannabisrisk.diy  

As the Department of Defense activates Phase 1 of the CMMC rollout, government contractors must race to validate their cybersecurity posture or risk losing contract eligibility. This episode breaks down the critical path to Level 2 certification, including the costs of remediation, the 110 controls of NIST SP 800-171, and the mandatory reporting requirements for the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS). Tune in for a strategic guide on finalizing your System Security Plan, budgeting for third-party assessments, and ensuring your organization avoids the "No CMMC Status" designation. www.compliancehub.wiki/compliance-report-procedures-for-nist-sp-800-171-and-cmmc-assessment-submission-in-the-supplier-performance-risk-system-sprs   Sponsor: https://cmmcnist.tools www.compliancehub.wiki
